Have you ever felt that happy over dinner? In Bali and throughout Indonesia, hotpot dinners are common during special occasions where friends and family gather around a simmering pot of fragrant broth. This act of cooking together creates bonding among individuals thus making it a favorite tradition.
In some parts of Asia, a hotpot is also known as a steamboat. This beloved culinary tradition can be found in many cultures across the continent. You can also enjoy a delicious home hotpot with prime-quality ingredients from Puri Pangan Utama.
Understanding the Hotpot Experience
Hotpot is also known as steamboat in some parts of Asia. It involves placing a pot full of boiling soup (can be spicy or mild) on an electric or gas stove at the center of the table. Throughout the meal, various raw ingredients such as leafy vegetables, sliced meat, seafood, chicken meat, mushrooms and noodles among others are placed into the soup at intervals to cook before being eaten with different types of sauces and condiments.
Common Ingredients Used for Hot Pot Cooking
The choice for hot pot ingredients is up to personal taste but usually, they include thinly sliced beef, fish balls, chicken chunks, quail eggs as well as shrimp squid fish fillets among other seafood. Vegetables ranging from leafy greens like kale spinach bok choy etc, bean sprouts, and mushrooms are also commonly added.
Ingredients to Begin Within Your Hotpot
This is an age-old debate – some people say that the first to go in would be the ingredient that takes the longest to cook like beef slices, shrimp, and fish balls. Your protein of choice would also add additional flavor to your broth.
Other hotpot aficionados would argue that leafy green vegetables should go in first and the meat last, followed by root vegetables, mushrooms, and tofu. What to cook first in a hotpot depends on your preference and taste. We recommend experimenting and adding to the fun at your next hotpot meal!
